Anthocyanins: Biosynthesis, Distribution, Ecological Role, and Use of Biostimulants to Increase Their Content in Plant Foods—A Review (2021, background): “Anthocyanidins and anthocyanins are almost exclusively produced by plants, in a branch of the phenylpropanoid pathway that is also involved in the biosynthesis of other flavonoids [34,35] (Figure 2).”
Naturally Occurring Anthocyanin, Structure, Functions and BiosyntheticPathway in Fruit Plants (2017, background): “In particular, flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites, responsible for the widest color range, (pale-yellow to blue), in number of seeds, flowers, fruits and leaves and other tissues are belongs to the class of phenylpropanoids [22].”
Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Degradation Mechanisms in Solanaceous Vegetables: A Review (2018, background): “Anthocyanidins are composed of two aromatic benzene rings separated by an oxygenated heterocycle (Tanaka et al., 2008; Figure 2).”
An R2R3 MYB transcription factor associated with regulation of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in Rosaceae (2010, background): “Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments that belong to the flavonoid family of compounds giving red, blue and purple colours in a range of flowers, fruits, foliage, seeds and roots [1].”
Rapeseed (Brassica napus): Processing, Utilization, and Genetic Improvement (2021, background): “…blue, and purple ﬂowers) [287,288], which are accumulated in the vacuoles of epidermal cells, and their amount in the cells, their association with other pigments or metal ions, vacuole pH, and the thickness of the epidermal cells were proven to inﬂuence the color type and intensity [288–291].”
Sucrose signaling pathways leading to fructan and anthocyanin accumulation: A dual function in abiotic and biotic stress responses? (2014, background): “…biosynthetic genes [Chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI) 9 and the Flavanone 3β-hydroxylase (F3H)], and late biosynthetic genes [dihydroflavonol 10 reductase (DFR), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), and leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase 11 (LDOX)] (Zhou, et al., 2008; Tanaka et al., 2008).”
Non-protein amino acids: plant, soil and ecosystem interactions (2011, background): “DOPA is synthetised from tyrosine by tyrosine hydroxylase (Tanaka et al. 2008) and may be converted by DOPA-dioxygenase to betamic acid, or DOPA polyphenol oxidase to cDOPA 5GT (Christinet et al.”
Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases and their apocarotenoid products in plants (2009, background): “In contrast, the carotenoid profiles of fruits and flowers are distinctive and depend on the plant species (Tanaka et al. 2008).”
Flavonoids: biosynthesis, biological functions, and biotechnological applications (2012, methodology): “In addition, the engineering of flavonoid biosynthetic pathways may affect other metabolic pathways in plants and may result in detrimental effects (Tanaka et al., 2008).”
Light-dependent regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis in plants (2009, background): “This transcriptional regulation has been the focus of a wide range of studies and reviews (Bramley, 2002; Cunningham, 2002; Shanker et al., 2003; Kato et al., 2004; Römer and Fraser, 2005; Howitt and Pogson 2006; Cloutault et al., 2008; Tanaka et al., 2008; Ito et al., 2009).”
